Wow... I planted a lot of tomatoes. Four plants in the bottom of the garden. Four plants in the top. 1 plant in Michael's garden... ok, that one doesn't count since he has harvested nearly all of the cherry sized little "green balls" already. Seriously though, 8 plants. That's alot of tomatoes for our little family. Of course, I was anticipating that my little "helper" would help himself to plenty of those little green balls throughout the season. What a shame that he went for my bell peppers instead. Note to self for next year... the tomatoes plants really do get bigger than you ever think imaginable. If I leave the garden the same size, I should really only do three in a row. If we add a few more feet, four would be the maximum number of plants. The sun and warmth that destroyed my broccoli has blessed my tomatoes. Now, we just need cool nights to ripen those babies up. Not that I am asking for summer to come to an end... just anticipating my tomato harvest and the days I will spend canning.
